PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks. This lady was making a rug in the house. The Physician's house was built in the 1840s, it is an attractive neo-Grecian cottage which, in its original location in the village of Aultsville was not the home of a physician but was the home of Michael Cook, the man who first bred Holstein cattle in Canada. In eastern Upper Canada, before Confederation, there were at least 65 licensed physicians, most of whom were Canadian graduates. These physicians made a good living even though they seldom collected all their fees. For a working-class family, a single visit by a doctor represented a day's wage. So one only called for the local doctor in extreme need. Most general practitioners were kept busy travelling around the countryside seeing sick people in their own homes. Aside from delivering babies, they treated various ailments such as bleeding, blistering, or emetics and purgatives to rid the body of the poisons of disease. Surgery at this time was confined to the removal of tumours or amputations and infection was a common risk. The anaesthetic in general use in the 1860s was chloroform administered by a mask. The first medical use of antiseptic sterilization did not occur in Canada until after 1867. |
